Update :
I’ve noticed a clothing retailer visiting here. It would be very unfortunate if anyone tried to make money out of this – I’m not and am not intending to either.
I”d hope for a strong response from many sites if someone tried to make money out of the issue.
I have tweaked the image slightly and created a larger version for those who have asked for an image they can put on a T shirt. Click on the image for the large version.

I’ve also removed my tag from the large version – it distracts from the piece.

First posted (including smog version) here.
